Hello mate long time no hear
That comment "done to a price" - please don't take it the wrong way it was meant as in a garage working to a budget would not want to add an extra few hours labour to a bill as the client would not be happy.
Any way if I was going to blame someone it would be Vortech - how did they think it would stay there? it has nothing to bolt to and no anti gravity feature
Believe me I know how much you spent on the car I have a folder full of receipts!
BTW Just drained the oil and it's still clear!
Ref the oil cooler - You said it need one and as you know I was suffering even more than you on track - must be the hotter weather down on the south coast - Drop links that you pointed out as squeaky were changed for the ones you gave me even though the old ones passed MOT.
The biggest worry is that crack - Now I know it wasn't there when you had it, it must have happened when I had it
Also after a good look at it, it seems to push out forwards, it would go in if it had been bumped.
So I'm thinking stress crack....... But it shouldn't do that! Will look at it very carefully when I put her back together.
Other than that mate she's been a dream fastest car I've ever owned including the 911, never let me down once and in the words of my other half after a spirited bit of driving and a Porsche boxter disappearing in the rear view mirror -
"and you want to make it go faster?!!
Classic
Keep in touch mate
